I really am having fun!

I'm trying super hard not to start too many conversations at once, since it seems like sort of a jerk thing to do, even if I'm sure it's common practice.

I really hope to strike up a non-romantic friendship with the Ace girl, not really sure if she is aromantic or not, but I dunno if I could really do an asexual relationship right now, if ever. Really still feel like I need to figure myself out in that regard. :-/ The other trans girl who I am talking to is also awesome, chatted with her a lot last night and this afternoon, and fingers crossed something more there at some point but friendship also nice!

Only real problem I'm running into is that people seem to be on a bit of an either or with either just hook-ups or just long term monogamous relationships, and I think right now I need something in between as I feel things out.

Dear Ellie:
My unsolicited advice and perhaps unwanted advice is to take it very slow when making and starting possibly romantic friendships that may lead into more.
 
It took me quite a while as full-time to start feeling comfortable dating... as you know from my thread, I am perhaps too slow and careful but that is just me.

I am very outgoing and will be the first to start conversations with strangers... if not careful that could be mistaken for coming on to them way too fast ...  but I just met them so I have to tell myself... slow down!!!

Thanks for sharing your experiences .... I will be looking for more of your updates as you post them.
Hugs,
Danielle

Unrelated to the previous posts but I thought I'd show a picture of me playing around with blue lipstick. Amazing how it instantly changes entire look.

(No other makeup, it's midnight... )



Goes well with the nose stud. Just need to dye my hair...

Wow. I... I have changed.

Dear Ellie:
This is very exciting news....

Now, in typical girl fashion... you have to find out what kind of date this is going to be and what you think would be appropriate to wear.   You have to carefully chose clothing, shoes, colors, jewellery, that appropriately goes with the date destination and also consider how your date will dress.   
Then of course, you will have to make certain that your hair is perfect, makeup done correctly, fingernails manicured and polished... etc, etc, etc.

It is much more involved being the girl going on a date that it is for a guy going on date.

ENJOY THIS....  you will find this new experience very exciting !!!!

... and of course all of your followers will be eager to read your update and see any pictures that you may want to post...  telling us all about how your date went.

Oh, and if you can't be good, at least be very careful !!!!  LOL   

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

This has been amazing. Date is on sept 8th, she wants to drive down from Atlanta early to meet up, didn't want to wait until the move (but was willing to!)! We've been talking nonstop, she's really awesome and I'm just completely smitten.

For my entire life I lacked that drive... that aggressive male "gotta get the girl" attitude. I didn't understand it. Even beyond dysphoria issues it just... it seemed somehow wrong. And of course not a whole lot of teenage girls in the 90s being the aggressive one towards a "guy", so I just... sort of stayed alone.

But this... she's this awesome mixture of confident and shy, where she will say something and then immediately want to take it back as coming on to strong and I find it adorable. She manages to be both "aggressive" (relatively to me at least) and still be super girly. So I'm in the position of being sort of the "chased". And... it... it feels right. It feels so perfectly right in the way any of that other crap from before felt so wrong. Which isn't to say I'm being a timid little thing either! Just... I'm a bit more coy~

I have had the biggest smile on my face the past few days.

Also I think the friendship with the Ace girl is picking up pretty nicely too, she is sweet. Nothing romantic there at all, just a cool new friendship with another person before I am even in the city.
